Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 145

"who is it?"

Xin Ziqiu's face changed. With his spiritual perception ability, he was surprised that he couldn't detect that someone was around.

This shows that the comer at least has the strength above the earth immortal.

He looked around and saw a young man walking slowly not far away.

This person was wearing a royal blue silk shirt, holding a feather fan with gold bones and a white jade handle.

Xin Ziqiu stood up and looked carefully at the young master vigilantly, and saw that he was handsome, with a pair of red phoenix eyes that were clear and piercing, especially his hands, with long fingers, white and tender, not like a man.

He walked up to the two of them, seemed to see through Xin Ziqiu's doubts, bowed slightly and said:

"You don't need to panic, it's just an illusion, and ordinary people can't feel it with their spiritual thoughts alone. Xia Renjia is the examiner of the third level."

The voice is crisp, delicate and tender, and it is impossible to distinguish between male and female.

Seeing his politeness, Xin Ziqiu greeted him with fists, and was about to ask a question when Taiwei Hong behind him said:
"I'm the Great Lieutenant of the Song Dynasty, Hong Xin, and this is Xin Ziqiu, the captain of this dynasty. May I ask my brother, how do we pass this level?"

Ren Jia shook his feather fan lightly and replied:

"It's very simple. In this small world, there is a treasure that can open the road to the sky. Those of you who have passed the first two tests, whoever can find it will be the winner of this level. Step on the Tongtian Road, walk into the core of this place, and accept the real test of Master Fang Warlock."

What Xin Ziqiu cared more about was the situation of the people in Kaifeng Mansion, so he quickly interjected and asked:

"Brother Renjia, where are the people who fell in with us just now? Are they still alive?"

Renjia smiled slightly:
"Of course, it's just that all of you are scattered in different corners, lest you kill each other from the beginning."

Xin Ziqiu's expression darkened when he heard that:
"What do you mean?"

Ren Jia replied lightly:

"It's not interesting. Many of you came here from another area using the teleportation formation, and some of you didn't pass the first two tests. They couldn't get the chance to set foot on the road to the sky.

"These people want to enter the core, there are only two ways, one is to kill you passers-by, take the mark on your body, and then find the treasure.

"The second is to collect all four keys, activate the formation, and directly open the road to heaven. This point, my illusion will tell everyone who enters this level to ensure that they know the rules of the test here.

"Think about it, if everyone is in one place, I'm afraid there will be a big fight now. I disperse everyone to protect you who have the customs clearance mark."

Xin Ziqiu understood that the so-called customs clearance mark refers to the red dots on the foreheads of himself and Hong Taiwei and others. Only those who have passed the first two tests in a row can have such a mark.

Although Renjia's tone was humble and soft, he still felt full of malice, and asked in a harsh voice:

"What is this? That is to say, everyone who has passed the first two tests and has a mark is in danger of life here?"

Renjia nodded with a smile and said:
"That's right, but this is your test. Master Fang Warlocks will only meet those who are destined for treasures. Live and find the treasure that opens the way to heaven. As long as any one of you finds it, the test will immediately If it is over, the fight will be forcibly terminated."

Xin Ziqiu remained silent. This trip to Lord Xinling's ancient tomb was far beyond the scope of ordinary expeditions.

The first two levels were fine, but now the third level, to encourage killing, what is the intention of Fang Warlocks?

Fortunately, on their side, there are only nine people who have the red marks that represent customs clearance. Except for Hong Taiwei and Jia Zhiqing, they are all top martial arts masters. did it.

And Jia Zhiqing is carrying the Daluo Talisman Map and the Talisman left behind by Jia Zhengliang, who can summon her Earth Immortal father when necessary, so she should be able to protect herself.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a little more at ease.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of something again, and asked Renjia:
"You said that some people were teleported from another area, so how many areas does this ancient tomb have? Are there other people who are also undergoing the same test as us in other areas?"

Renjia sighed and said:
"This is not a secret, and it's okay to tell you. In this cave, there are four major areas on the periphery, which are opened by four keys. Different keys correspond to different areas. Each area has a pass. The road to the core. There is also a teleportation formation between each area, which can communicate with each other.

"It's just that if you want to use this teleportation array, you need a lot of conditions, and once you use the teleportation array, you will be stripped of the customs clearance mark, and you can only pass by taking other people's marks. These teleportation arrays were originally for those who failed to pass the level, but Those who want to stay here and continue to explore and hunt for treasures are prepared. As for why someone suddenly teleported to your level, then I don’t know.”

Xin Ziqiu felt awe-inspiring when he heard this.

Obviously, the key that Renjia mentioned refers to the gold tablet with the Xuanming pattern printed on it, and the group of people who were sent over should be Ding Pingping.

This can explain why these people from Tianshu Pavilion and Lotus Sect suddenly appeared on the top of the cliff and attacked Da Song's treasure hunting team.

However, it is difficult to say whether they discovered the teleportation formation by themselves and came to ambush and sneak attack, or were they arranged to target Da Song's team.

But no matter what the situation is, Xin Ziqiu can be sure that someone knows the progress and situation of his team well, and even knows exactly which area they appear in and which level they have reached.

Of course, it could also be a pure coincidence. People like Ding Ping accidentally activated the teleportation array and ended up on their side in a daze.

However, this possibility is really very small. Ding Ping and the others are all heroes of a generation, so they should not act so recklessly and sloppily.

Your uncle, why do you think about it, there is always a feeling of being spied on and calculated, and there are dangers everywhere?

However, Ren Jia's answer made him think about some things, but it was not convenient to say it in front of Ren Jia.

Just when he was pondering, Taiwei Hong asked:

"Brother Renjia, are you saying that the alchemists from the pre-Qin period are still alive? Aren't they already... 1000 years old?"

Renjia laughed and said:

"After you board the Tongtian Road, ask them."

Hong Taiwei looked horrified and asked again:

"Then if people who don't have the customs clearance mark find the treasure first, can they also climb the Tongtian Road?"

Ren Jia shook his head and said:
"I've already said that this is impossible. If there is no customs clearance mark, even if the treasure that opens Tongtian Road is placed in front of you, it cannot be used. It is no different from ordinary goods."

Hong Taiwei asked again:

"Then if none of us can find the treasure, wouldn't we have been trapped here all this time?"

Renjia chuckled:
"You have a day and night, if you can't find the treasure, all of you will fail, and the whole test will end.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that during these long years, many people came in to search for treasures, but in the end they found the treasures at this stage, successfully entered the core of the treasure house, and were tested and received by the warlocks. "

As he said that, with a wave of Ren Jia's hand, the mist surrounding them dissipated, and Xin Ziqiu saw a sunny and beautiful green valley in front of his eyes.

Here, there are white clouds and misty mist, the fragrance of flowers is quiet, the green grass is luxuriant, and the birds are singing.

Renjia laughed and said:

"This valley is your final examination room. At this time tomorrow, most of you will leave this place. Apart from the treasure that can open the road to heaven, there are many other treasures here. For mortals, they are priceless. Therefore, even if you fail to stay until the end, you may not return empty-handed, and this can be regarded as a gift from Master Fang Warlocks to you."

Xin Ziqiu wanted to ask something else, but Renjia's figure was rapidly fading, and he said at the same time:

"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you still have questions, you can only get answers after entering Tongtian Road. If there is a real destiny, maybe we will meet again in the future. I wish you good luck..."

In the end, the voice was ethereal, and soon disappeared along with his phantom.

Seeing Ren Jia leaving, Xin Ziqiu looked at Hong Taiwei and said:

"What are the plans of the captain?"

He has always been wary of Lieutenant Hong, but the two are still allies in name at least, so they naturally have to travel together.

Hong Taiwei said with a smile:
"Since Ren Jia has pointed out the way for us, we might as well try our luck and see if we can find that treasure. However, the officer is seriously injured and cannot stand up. I'm afraid there must be Captain Lao Xin, this... ...carry me on your back and go forward together.”

Xin Ziqiu didn't know if it was true or not that this guy was injured, so he felt a little amused.

But he has never been a person who cares about every detail. If Hong Taiwei is really injured, then he will carry it on his back.

If this guy is acting with himself, well, then I will accompany you to continue acting, and I want to see where you come from.

Without hesitation, he lifted Taiwei Hong up and carried him on his back.

At this time, his internal strength was so deep that he didn't feel much at all when he was carrying a hundred and ten catties on his back. He followed a path and walked forward.

As he walked, he said:
"Master Taiwei, where do you think Uncle Guo has gone?"

Hong Taiwei didn't expect him to mention this matter, and said in doubt:

"This... I don't know either. Well, to be honest, it's okay if I didn't find any treasures in the ancient tomb this time, and I lost my uncle. Even if I can go back alive, I'm afraid It is inevitable to be punished by officials.",

While talking, Taiwei Hong sighed again,
"Sigh, I never imagined that this official would serve the country for half his life, but in the end he would not be able to protect himself at the end of the year. It's a pity, what can I do..."

While lamenting, it seemed that the wound was touched again, and he began to groan.

Xin Ziqiu was dumbfounded by his emotions, and said softly:

"Master Taiwei, I have some clues."

Taiwei Hong stopped his humming immediately, and hurriedly asked:

"What's the best opinion of Lieutenant Xin? Tell me quickly."

Xin Ziqiu said:
"Just now, Renjia said that there are other areas here. Maybe Uncle Guo was teleported to other places as soon as he came in, so he didn't stay with us."

Hong Taiwei thought for a while and said:
"We came in together, why was he the only one sent away?"

Xin Ziqiu said slowly:
"Maybe Uncle Guo holds another key and uses it to go to other areas. Mr. Taiwei, I haven't been an official for a long time, but it sounds strange to be an uncle of the country and do such a thing as the capital prison. Do you know if this was planned by the officials from the beginning, or was it recommended by Uncle Guo later?"

Taiwei Hong took a deep breath, and said after a while:

"That's right. Uncle Guo became the capital supervisor of this team. It was indeed he who volunteered and begged for an errand from the officials. Actually, I was a little surprised at the beginning, but I heard that Uncle Guo has always been interested in immortals and Taoists. I didn’t ask any more questions, but now that I think about it, it’s really unusual. Lieutenant Xin is really good at predicting things, I didn’t expect you to guess Uncle Cao Guo’s whereabouts just based on Ren Jia’s few words.”

Xin Ziqiu was a little embarrassed by his praise. He only thought of this just because he had the advantage of being a traverser. Knowing that Uncle Cao Guo will be one of the Eight Immortals in the future, there must be some unknown secrets, so he made a bold guess .

He said "hmm" and said:
"Thank you Taiwei for your compliment, but this is just my speculation. If it weren't for this, there is really no way to explain why Uncle Guo disappeared strangely. I think maybe from the beginning, he didn't intend to enter the same area with us, but had other arrangements .”

Hong Taiwei was a little dissatisfied and said:
"If it's as you said, then does Uncle Cao Guo want to steal the magic of immortality from the ancient tomb? If that's the case, I will tell the official family to punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xin Ziqiu coughed lightly, thinking that the Taiwei is a bit too poor, so you can just think about it yourself, and casually talk to the people below, is it really the way to be an official?
Hong Taiwei also seemed to feel that he had made a mistake, so he said quickly:
"Lieutenant Xin, we have gone through hardships together, so we are not outsiders. After getting along for a long time, you will know that this officer has always been upright, jealous of evil, sometimes outspoken, will inevitably offend others, please don't mind."

He was getting darker and darker, which made Xin Ziqiu more and more suspicious of his identity.

However, there is still a more realistic problem to be solved right now, that is how to avoid the pursuit of Tianshu Pavilion and Lotus Sect.

These people must have been the same as them. They received Renjia's guidance, and under the temptation of the treasure, they will definitely look around for the location of the person with the customs clearance mark.

If he was alone, there would be nothing to be afraid of, but now that he was burdened by an injury, it would be a bit tricky.

Xin Ziqiu looked at the valley and found that it was not very wide. The radius was only a few miles, at most the size of two or three stadiums. Unless one could climb over the surrounding mountains and cliffs, there would be more than [-] people on both sides walking here. Come and go, it is inevitable that we will run into each other.

When the time comes, I will be behind my back, and I am afraid that I will suffer if I meet a master like Ding Ping or Hu Shixiu.

Looking for a place to hide?With the help of the cover of vegetation and woods, it may be possible to hide for a day and a night, and then wait for the test to end and be sent out.

This approach is safe enough, but Xin Ziqiu is a little unwilling.

He has come to this point, and he has to try to see if he can enter the core, but he still has tasks to complete.

When he was thinking about various countermeasures for encountering people, he suddenly found two people walking in front of him, one old and one young.

The old man with white hair and childlike face, but the young man with a dead face are walking side by side.

Xin Ziqiu's eyes lit up.

Oops, here comes the opportunity to cheat...
